Chris Pine’s Details pictorial: sexy, or trying way too hard?

pine1

These are some photos from Chris Pine’s November pictorial for Details Magazine. CoverAwards already pointed out that Chris is styled a lot like Zac Efron was for his Details cover shoot. Very similar sort of rip-the-sleeves out, I wish I was James Dean blah blah blah stuff. You know what Jon Hamm did for his Details cover shoot? He got wet. He was in a pool fully clothed. Because Jon Hamm is too good for this cheesy James Dean styling. And since this is all we have – because Details released the photos a full week before they released any excerpts from the interview, we can only judge Chris on these photos.

Anyway, I don’t really care for Chris Pine, so maybe that has something to do with how cheesy I find these photos. I prefer Chris Evans – Pine’s contemporary, who just seems to be a nicer guy and a more considerate person. If Lainey at LaineyGossip is to be believed (which I think she is), Pine has been a bit of a diva on the set of This Means War, with Tom Hardy and Reese Witherspoon. You never hear stories about Evans being a diva. Because he’s probably not. Also: Pine dated Audrina Patridge. Ugh.

But, anyway… I know some enjoy him. So here you go.

I think he’s probably promoting his new film Unstoppable with Denzel Washington… the one in which they both look really surly and over it.

    These pictures aren’t so bad.I like Chris Pine much more than Zac Efron.It’s up to the photographer to decide what kind of photo shoot he/she is going to do isn’t it?

  2. Bodhi says:

    Cheesy James Dean style? What? James Dean is NEVER cheesy!! I wish more younger guys dressed like him… Its one thing that attracted me to my husband!

  3. Lou says:

    Trying way to hard and I don’t know why. He’s supposed to be the next big thing (as in talented actor) so I think he’s going the wrong way trying to be the big sexy beast. It’s true with men as well as women – if people see you as a sex symbol they’re likely to downplay your actual acting ability.

  4. Iggles says:

    Trying WAY too hard.

    He’s not horrible looking, but I never really found him *that* attractive. I dunno why. I thought Spock was HOT in Star Trek though..

    Maybe it’s his hair? I dunno, he needs it shorter or something. Eh..

  5. bagladey says:

    Wouldn’t the theme of the photo shoot be up to the photog? James Dean is never cheesy, CP’s lookin’ fine and the pics are good, and sexy.

  6. skippidy says:

    I don’t think he’s necessarily a diva, he probably just has a Napoleon complex.

  7. dit says:

    I LOVE Pine (and Evans!! Both are pretty underrated actors). I love his gorgeous eyes, I love the chuckles he does, I think he’s one of them who can act. I don’t care if he’s a total bitch in real life, but damn, I’d love to hit that!!

  8. Meanchick says:

    Like the pics, no doubt, but I do love some Chris Evans! I mean “Didja ever see a dream walkin, well I did!” That Evans is wet dream worthy! Pine, I just don’t know enough about, but I hope he takes a Chris Evans class or something!

  9. bb says:

    God, did I miss u guys yesterday. Glad you are back

  10. original kate says:

    trying waaayyy too hard.

  11. ~M says:

    He can try ANYTHING HARD on me at ANY time!

    ohmigod I can’t believe I’ve just wrote that 😀

  12. DiMi says:

    Trying too hard. He’s cute, but he looks uncomfortable.

  13. texasmom says:

    He’s clearly trying way too hard, but if he looks like that, it is ok with me!

  14. Kate says:

    He is just ridiculously cheesy.

    Stop trying so hard, tool!

  15. Oi says:

    The one with him in the car is ok. The rest are bad. Just say no to leather pants guys…

  16. Po says:

    I saw a clip of that Unstoppable movie and it was so bad I was actually embarrassed for Denzel Washington. A runaway train, really?!

  17. Taurus says:

    All of those poses except for the one in the car, are super feminine! Some people are naturally sexy without trying (like my late hubby MJ), and some are not.

    MJ FOR HGF!

  18. erika rain says:

    Chris Pine is ok as a young Kirk in the Star Trek alt-universe prequel, but as much as I love my Star Trek, it doesn’t take a whole lot of talent to mimic William Shatner.

  19. Ron says:

    The James Dean and Marilyn Monroe redux photoshoots are BEYOND tired.

  20. Strawberry says:

    Definite Napoleon complex. Just like Tom Cruise. Pine is what, 5’6” tops?

  21. Confuzzle says:

    Dude has a long head and quite a fivehead going on.

  22. SolitaryAngel says:

    He’s so pretty! I’m like you, M~, I’d turn that boy every which way but loose! Beautiful eyes…who cares how he’s styled–style him NAKED! I’d like that.

  23. Andrea-2 says:

    Oh, thank goodness you’re back up again. I was ready to e-mail D-listed to put out an APB on you.

  24. Deeme says:

    Chris is GREAT in these pics and he is AWESOME like young Captain Kirk!!!

    CAPTAIN FINE!!!

  25. lu says:

    I don’t like men who do sexy poses, purse their lips when taken a pic, or have a colgate smile or show their muscles on every magazine interview.
    I like my Daniel Day-Lewis, Liam Neeson, Gordon-Levitt. Not perfect looking but so damn hot, and they are not even trying.

  26. Jennifer says:

    Are those leather pants in one of the pics? Ew.

    I’d still hit it.

  27. BamaGuy says:

    I am completely in his spell, he is so incredibly handsome, what a package, what a face, what a body, what gorgeous eyes, lips… OMG he is perfect

  28. Eve says:

    That’s the mother lode of five-heads!

    *Oh, another nice thing about Chris Evans? The way he talked about his brother (who is gay).

  29. AlaskaJoey says:

    Hot as hell. I’d hit that every way I could. I don’t think he was a diva when working with Reese, because there are photos out of the two of them laughing and talking, and she seems Type A and hardcore about her work, and I don’t think she’d be friendly with someone who was being a diva.

    Also, I don’t think celebs have much control over the clothes and poses in photoshoots, so, if anything, blame the mag and photographer.

  30. aenflex - says:

    Trying way too hard. This kids only hot when he’s playing the nerd.

  31. I Choose Me says:

    I don’t find him hot. (Chris Evans is a different story, lawdy that boy foine!) But I do think he’s a pretty good actor. Loved his maniacal turn in Smoking Aces. He was a bright spot in a turd of a film.

  32. Anne says:

    I find him kind of plastic-y. He’s an ok actor.

  33. Deeme says:

    This story about Chris is false, look for posts about Chris at Lainey, she always said she didn’t like him, according to Lainey own for no reason!

    CHRIS PINE IS AWESOME!!!

  34. LadyBea says:

    Those pictures don’t do anything for me. But that trailer? Oh, yea — that makes me want to do Pine & Mr Denzel. And Rosario Dawson, too.

  35. Deeme says:

    And Jon Hamm is a bit “old” to play James Dean! C’mon can not really compare!

  36. Anna says:

    He’s better looking than most of what passes for “hot”

  37. LBees says:

    Yeah but he was so good in Star Trek!

  38. Dawson says:

    the guy is cool. like him.
    loved unstoppable.
    and he is 6’1″ – not at all short.

  39. Nali says:

    He is not trying too hard. He does whatever the photographers want him to do. that aside, he’s gorgeous!!

    the only turn off is he tries to sound all intellectual, and then he just wants to date starlets and C or D listers or basically women who throw their bodies out in public. So that’s the turn off. I think he can really act, but he did a horrible job back in CSI. so he definitely came a LONG way and I wouldn’t be surprised if he got an oscar somewhere down the line. But, however, I think as famous as he is, his roles are limited to playing the hard masculine hot dued in the movies. He’s not at the age where he’s a popular pick for drama.
